Title Corporate

“Invest in France Agency is responsible for prospecting and assisting international investors to create employment in France; making proposals to the French government regarding measures to reinforce France’s economic attractiveness; and helping to improve the image of France’s economy.

Our main mission is to attract international investment projects that bring long-term employment to our regions. IFA is responsible for providing a personalized, responsive, and high quality service to our main clients - foreign investors and French regions.

For this reason then, when I took over the job of Chairman of IFA, I decided to reorganize our agency in order to concentrate efforts on our main mission by making the client our number one priority, and by putting personnel at our head office at the disposal of colleagues in our network of offices that are in direct contact with foreign companies.

A key stage in the process of optimizing our organization was achieved on 24 June 2008, when our management system was certified by SGS, in accordance with the ISO 9001:2000 standard for service providers.

This certification, which is an acknowledgement of IFA’s expertise and its efficiency, should not be considered as an end in itself, but rather as the beginning of a virtuous circle of consistent improvement, which the agency intends to maintain.

Certification is a means of working together, intelligently and efficiently, in order to successfully achieve our objective, in other words satisfy our clients and achieve positive results for France in terms of employment and image!”
